::Selective memory::

What our mind remembers in dreams and reality is mostly selective, oftentimes protective. Our cognitive dissonance continues as we accumulate our memories. Like a patchwork in fine fog, there are things that come forward of others and we are left with outlines of our life spotted with the colors of our emotions endured. With this series, I allowed myself to completely embrace my intuitive nature, giving myself the opportunity to apply line and color as I felt it, connecting with a truly fluid process in my work.
